Zhongxing Bridge

The Zhongxing Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning Hangzhou Bay that connects the cities of Jiaxing and Ningbo in the eastern region. The structure uses specialized steel piles instead of concrete supports to resist saltwater corrosion and strong tidal forces.

Construction began in 2003 and was completed in 2007, significantly improving transportation connections between the two cities. The project marked an important step in modernizing infrastructure for the region.

The service center on the bridge offers a place where visitors can pause and take in the expanse of water surrounding them. People use this space to experience the connection between land and sea and observe the sky above the bay.

The best way to enjoy views is by visiting the service center, which features an observation tower. Plan time to take in the bay and surrounding waters from above and experience the structure from different perspectives.

The construction uses a specialized low-strength early-stretching technique to prevent concrete cracking while maintaining the flexibility needed in the marine environment. This innovation allows the bridge to handle extreme conditions and constant water movement.
